joint venture well servicing company operating in Argentina.
These investments are accounted for by the equity method.

carrying value of its non-well servicing investments and recorded provisions of
$582,000 and 2,369,000, respectively, to write these investments down to their
estimated net realizable value.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash equivalents include all highly liquid
short-term investments with maturities of three months or less.

well servicing rigs and related equipment. Additions, renewals and betterments
that add materially to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an
asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred. Upon retirement or disposal, the asset and related allowance for
depreciation accounts are eliminated. Any gains or losses on such transactions
are included in income.
